The quest for a powerful and swift mount is a cornerstone of the Black Desert Online (BDO) experience. Among the various tiers of horses, Tier 7 horses are highly sought after for their impressive stats and potential for breeding. If you’re looking to acquire a Tier 7 horse, there are two primary paths: capturing a wild horse or horse breeding. Here’s a breakdown of both methods:

Method 1: Capturing a Wild Tier 7 Horse

Where to Find Wild Tier 7 Horses

While not as common as lower tiers, Tier 7 wild horses can be found, primarily in the Drieghan region of the game. The key is knowing where to look and having the right tools. These horses tend to spawn in specific locations, often in open fields and grasslands. Keep an eye out in areas with higher vegetation density.

How to Capture a Wild Horse

Here’s how to capture a wild horse, including Tier 7 variants:

Acquire a Capturing Rope: Purchase a Capturing Rope from a stable keeper.
Locate a Wild Horse: Wander the Drieghan region and look for wild horses. A Tier 7 horse will appear more robust and have a distinct visual presence compared to lower tiers.
Approach Carefully: Move slowly and quietly toward the horse. Avoid sudden movements that might spook it.
Use the Capturing Rope: Equip the Capturing Rope and aim it at the horse. When you’re in range, click to throw the rope.
Mini-Game: Once the rope is attached, a mini-game begins. You will have to balance the horse’s struggling with the Space Bar or Left Click. Failure will cause the horse to break free. When the bar is full, the horse is captured.
Mount the Horse: After successfully capturing the horse, approach it and mount it.
Register at a Stable: Ride your new horse to the nearest stable keeper. Register the horse and give it a name to make it a permanent addition to your stable.

Keep in mind that capturing a horse is not a guaranteed process. You may need several attempts to successfully capture a horse, and the tier of the captured horse is also based on luck.

Method 2: Horse Breeding for Tier 7 Horses

Basics of Horse Breeding

Horse breeding is a reliable way to obtain higher-tier horses. You’ll need at least two horses to start breeding, and the potential tier of the foal is influenced by the tier and level of the parents.

How to Breed for a Tier 7 Horse

Here’s a step-by-step guide to breeding for a Tier 7 horse:

Level Up Your Horses: The primary step is to level up your horses. Ideally, you want two Tier 6 horses leveled to at least level 30. This increases your chances of obtaining a higher-tier foal.
Find a Stable Keeper: Go to any stable keeper and select the “Breeding Market” option.
Register a Male Horse: Register a male horse in the breeding market. The breeding market allows you to make the horse available for other players or simply for yourself.
Find a Female Horse: Choose a female horse of the desired tier and select the “Breed” option.
Confirm Breeding: Confirm and initiate the breeding process.
Receive a Foal: After a brief period, the breeding process is complete. You’ll receive a new foal.
Check the Foal’s Tier: The foal’s tier is determined randomly within certain parameters influenced by the parents’ tier and levels. If luck is on your side, you may get a Tier 7 foal.

Using the Imperial Horse Delivery System

The Imperial Horse Delivery system allows you to exchange horses for Seals which can be traded at Imperial Horse Delivery NPC’s for various items, including high tier horses.

Important Considerations

Horse Training Level: Increasing your Horse Training Life Skill increases your chance of a successful capture, a higher tier foal, and your horse gaining more skills each level up.
Luck: Both capturing and breeding involve an element of chance. It may take multiple attempts to obtain a Tier 7 horse.
Patience: Getting a Tier 7 horse can take time and effort. Don’t get discouraged by initial failures.
